What is “Clear the List”? It’s a nationwide movement to support teachers by purchasing items for their school supply lists.

School will be back in session soon (some districts start in just a couple of weeks!), and teachers are already working hard to prepare their classrooms for the new 2025-2026 school year. This includes stocking up on school supplies for their students!

Did you know that many teachers pay for the majority of classroom supplies out of their own pockets? Yes, it’s true! Classroom supplies are not cheap, and many school districts and families are struggling. This leaves many teachers to pay for school supplies out of their own pockets.

Teachers always go the extra mile for their students, so let’s show them how much we appreciate them by giving back and helping to fulfill their supply lists!

You can help by donating items from teachers’ Amazon shopping lists!

Teachers and educational professionals can head over to Amazon, create a classroom wish list, and then share their lists publicly. Anyone can ‘donate’ items that are on the list, and after donating, donors can even leave a note or message letting the teacher know how much they are appreciated. So awesome!

Even better, if you post your list on social media and tag Amazon with #clearthelist, you may find that your list is cleared BY Amazon! So cool!

Teachers, follow these steps to make your classroom wish list on Amazon:

  • Head over to Amazon and hover over Account & List at the top. Select ‘Create a List’ from the drop-down menu and name your list.
  • Hover over the three dots More menu on the right, and click Manage List to update your shipping address (this is important!) and other preferences like whether you want the list to be private or public. You can also designate whether your list is for an organization, and if so, you’ll have the option to provide the website address of the organization.
  • Click ‘Save’ and then you can start adding items to your list!
  • To add items to your wish list, simply browse for products on Amazon and then click ‘Add to List’ under the Buy box on the right-hand side of any item’s product detail page.
  • Only list owners can make changes through Manage List. Both list owners and collaborators will be able to add and remove items.

If you’re a teacher, be sure to share your teacher list in the comments below so that readers can help clear the list! 🙌

Plus, treat yourself to something special with these teacher discounts!

    Preschool/Kindergarten teacher in Missouri. We are a very small district and each elementary teacher teaches 2 grade levels. This is my third year in Preschool/Kindergartn here and I am getting extra space for my centers and to accommodate the growing class size! Any help is much appreciated 💜

    I have been teaching high school social studies for the past seven years. Next year I will be going to a new school and teaching English. Any help stocking my classroom would be greatly appreciated.

    I am a high school teacher who has been teaching social studies for the last seven years. For the new school year, I will be moving to a new school and teaching English. While I have a lot of resources for social studies, my English resources are virtually non-existent Any help with my list would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello! I am a speech-language pathologist at a Title 1 school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My list contains items I will use for my special education students (especially those in a new Autistic Support classroom we are opening in the fall). Any help is appreciated.

    I work at a school for kids with special needs. We are adding 3 classrooms this year for a total of 13 classrooms. We are a non profit organization and will be serving 154 students. Our teachers purchase a lot of items on their own so I am hoping to help them out this year!

    👋🏻Howdy from Texas! I am the AVID teacher at our high school. We are in year 2 of AVID, so we are still learning as we grow. Our school is a Title 1 school and students need help getting their school supplies. Our big focus has been getting a garden flag for each of the students dream schools. Most are under $20, so if you would like to support them working towards their dream school; that would mean the world to them. I will appreciate any support for my AVID students! Thank you for your kindness!
